[After the mystery and isolation of their last destination, the Marsiva seems determined to head to brighter, busier territory. After a long journey through remote, nebula-painted space, speeding along at a brisk pace for the Host ship, the Marsiva brings her Fleet to a sudden and prominent point of traffic.

It seems that the Fleet has happened upon some sort of vacation destination! Maybe Atroma thinks that the passengers deserve some rest and relaxation... or just wants to distract them with something huge and shiny.

Welcome to Hotel Corona! Feel free to enjoy yourselves and enjoy the sites! If a hotel resort isn't your thing, you can head on over to the nearby planet and explore it's icy wonders.

In order words: it's a mingle!! Everyone get in! ]

[winn]

Right.

[ which makes things more difficult. if she knew him and couldn't stand him - he'd get right behind that, no problem. but she doesn't. she dislikes daxamites in general and he can't get comfortable with that. but at the same time - it's kara. ]

[passingthrough]

Probably not shocking to you that I'd be against judging an entire group of people for the actions of some. [She gently bumps their noses together.] Hard to be against caution when it comes to someone I love though.

[winn]

Yeah I'm not super into it either, especially when I don't really know what the actions even were.

[ it's so frustrating, it's like he's given the solution without the equation - turns the whole exercise meaningless. ]

Just wish I could remember. [ which is a dangerous wish to make, and it would mean he'd also go through dating kara's nemesis which he's so not looking forward to but he's just so frustrated with being stuck behind and not having answers to anything. it's bad enough not having the answers to things happening here, does home have to get confusing too? ]

[passingthrough]

Do you? I mean, do you really wish you could fast forward like that?

[winn]

No...I dunno. [ he's been saying that a lot, and he hates it. he's not the kind of guy who accepts not knowing things. ] I hate this confusion. [ kara threw things in his face he had no way to defend himself from when she remembered a past he hasn't lived through yet. and now this mon-el guy expects him to treat him a way he doesn't know if he should or even could live up to. ]

[passingthrough]

Yeah. I know. [She kisses his cheek.] Just do what feels right. Trust yourself. Future you figured things out for himelf. Now you will do it too.

[winn]

[ future him probably followed kara's lead, he figures, but future him hasn't been growing stronger and more confident under the loving care of friends and a girlfriend. besides, if he's really not a bad guy he's sure kara would come around to him, she's too good a person not to. which means future him would be more secure of whichever decision he makes. ]

Okay, that's all the time we have for wallowing - we got this room for one day. Let's make it count.

[passingthrough]

[Kissing.] I guess a night out of dancing can wait. Want to beat me at some games? See about room service?

[winn]

Yes.

[ to everything! :D he nods happily. ]

I want fries with a side of fries. [ really, you need a kid with him around? ]

[passingthrough]

[Adulthood is overrated.] I'm ordering you a plate of broccoli. with a side of spinach. [Kidding.]

[winn]

We're over.

[ of course he's kidding. (though really broccoli with a side of spinach wouldn't be the worst idea. it's a shame his taste buds disagree). ]

[passingthrough]

[She actually is craving some vegetables. But that doesn't mean she isn't also craving a burger and chocolate cake.] Harsh. [Kissing again.]

[winn]

[ she should definitely get all of it. he's all for indulging when they can, who knows what their next stop is going to look like.

so much kissing. ]

You don't mess with a man's fries.

[passingthrough]

Broccoli fries. [Lightly laughing and nuzzling.] I should probably put something resembling clothes on for game time so you have something to take off me later.

[winn]

Pushing it... [ humming lightly ]

I'm not following your logic, but sure.

[passingthrough]

[Kiss, kiss, and kiss for good measure before she slips out to grab something more clothes-like than a robe.] I'll order some food that won't make you leave me. [Smirking at him.]

[winn]

[ he props himself up on his elbow, just enjoying the view for a moment. ]

That's the woman I fell for.

[passingthrough]

I thought you fell for me because of the puns. [Smiles over her shoulder at him before calling in an order that actually does include some vegetables, but is also largely other things including fries and dessert. There's also a vegetarian entree. Yeah, she's noticed.]

[winn]

Puns were the hook.

[ everything else - the line and sinker. it's so nice for him, to have someone who cares about pleasing him for a change.

well, guess he'll get dressed too while she's ordering. even put on a tie, cuz he knows how much she likes taking those off. ]

[passingthrough]

It's lucky I was more nerd than assassin that day.

[She throws some pajamas on before turning back around to see Winn.] Ooh, should I dress up more?

[winn]

Hey, you don't fool me. You're always a nerd.

[ walking up to her and rubbing her shoulders, he leans in for a sweet kiss. ]

Don't you dare. [ she looks comfortable and perfect. ]

[passingthrough]

Who, me? [Kissing back fondly.] You look nice. You always look nice.

[winn]

Have to. [ he smiles, nuzzling her nose lovingly with his own. ] Gotta keep my woman happy.

[passingthrough]

You do. [Brushing fingers through his hair as their noses play.] Even when I'm sad or weary you being in my life makes everything better.

[winn]

[ he kisses her. and another one. and chuckles softly into her lips. ]

We're nauseating. [ that means I love you. ]
